OP updated with the latest sigpatches for Atmosphere 1.2.6 and Firmware 13.2.1.
I noticed that the latest pack doesn't include any ES or FS patches for the firmware update, seems like only those for Atmosphere 1.2.6 were added.
I suppose Nintendo didn't really make much changes so the ones from back in 13.1.0 still work lol

Totally remove the Atmosphere folder from you microsd card, put a clean version on and the then put the sigpatches in the relevant folders. If it still doesn't work - your micro sd card is corrupt, or you are not using the correct patches.

Yesterday I did upgrade to 13.2.1 firmware, and forgot to remove the HOS themes before reboot. But nothing wrong happen. I suppose nothing big changed and the files for themes and sigpatches are the same.

Now reinstalling the themes just to be sure🤪

Hi I've done everything you said but nothing changed: i can start hekate and atmosphere, and I can play crash bandicoot 4 and picross 3 (wow ok), but then i can't install new games because of an error, and some other games won't start. Now i took patches from ITotalJustice on github, which i always used. So what can i do? do you know some other patches to download? Must i shift from tinwoo installer to other ones?

And do not forget to obtain a different copy ofvthe NSP or XCI file could be a corrupted one
Yeah ok so what happened was: i managed to install the file thanks to you AND DBI, but it showed me corrupt. Before the firmaware update though i was able to play, so i dunno what could have happened

It's obviously your sd card has become corrupted, reformat it and re-install everything from scratch.

Try this. Load up Lockpick and dump your prod.keys from the Switch. Download Switch Army Knife on your PC, put the prod.keys in the bin folder of Switch Army Knife. Convert the base game .nsp file to an .xci file with Switch Army Knife. Install the converted .xci with Awoo and NS-USBloader over USB or copy it to your SD card and install with Awoo. Install your .nsp updates and DLC after that. If you still get "Unable to start software" restart the Switch and load the game again. I had this issue along with another person and this worked for us. I have no idea why converting the base game to an .xci worked for us but it got the game running.
This worked for me so thank you. I only have 1 game I can't get too work now. I've updated atmosphere and the sigpatches but still no go. Anyone else having trouble with Cotton RockNRoll?

Hello. I am trying to run Pokemon Shining Pearl and I'm getting the error "You must have the software in order to play"

Minecraft Dungeons and Pokemon Sword / Shield worked fine. What can I do to play more recent games?

Edit: I tried getting Monster Hunter Rise to work and ran into the same error,

CURRENT BETA SIGPATCHES UPDATED FOR FW 13.2.1 AND ATMOSPHERE v1.2.6

Given the current state of affairs, and HarukoNX's repositories being nuked and the previous thread's OP not being updated anymore, I decided to open a new thread to host the up-to-date signature patches for Atmosphere through Hekate, fss0 or package3, and this pack should also handle the patches for fusee, so you can use this as an all-in-one pack (presumably).

This means that if you use Hekate for booting, most likely you are using fss0/package3 to load Atmosphere, so these signature patches are for you.
If you're using fusee, then the pack already includes patches for that method as well.

Issues running certain games after a firmware, CFW or signature patches update?Scripts to generate Signature patches automaticallySigpatches Updater by Homlet


  1. Having issues running certain games after you updated the Switch's firmware, or Atmosphere's version?
    If you update to the latest CFW/sigpatches, and find yourself having issues booting some of them, be sure to check out this guide:
    https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-how-to-fix-switch-games-not-booting-after-a-fw-cfw-update.563960/
  2. Thanks to the amazing collaborative efforts of many people in the Temp Switch threads, it is now possible to decrypt the Switch's firmware files and the Atmosphere Loader module by executing scripts for Windows/Linux/Pytho created by @mrdude with help from @crckd, @DarkMatterCore and an Anonymous user for the RE process.

    The tool to generate the sigpatches based on your firmware (FS & ES) or Atmosphere (Loader) files can be found here:
    https://gbatemp.net/threads/info-on-sha-256-hashes-on-fs-patches.581550/page-7#post-9358107

    Depending on the patches required, you can use one of 3 scripts:

    Documentation related to the creation of the FS & ES patches can be found here:
    https://gbatemp.net/threads/info-on-sha-256-hashes-on-fs-patches.581550/
  3. If you want to update the sigpatches without having to deal with PC transfers, you could use the new Sigpatches Updater by @Homlet :
    https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-updater-update-your-sigpatches-from-your-switch.573546/[

Do take into consideration that I, the OP of this thread, DID NOT make these patches, and these are being submitted as community/user submissions.
Other users upload and make these patches, and those are simply re-directed into the OP with the most up-to-date patches!


Worked flawlessly. Thank you!
